I can see damaging equipment when learning but if you know how to do it its no problem. When I run extra board its common to do 400-600 miles with 2-5 stops and 2-3 hrs worth of drops/hooks. It makes for a long nite so I do whatever I can to make my nite easier. Learning to back a dolly cost me a lot of time in the beginning but I looked at it as an investment as I got better at it I now save time. I didnt damage anything while learning but I did look like ****** for a while. Its much easier especially on rough, sloped or ice and snow covered lots. I also back sets. I didnt try until I could first control the dolly and then started practicing sets. I often come home with empties and back my kite to the fence with no problem, drop it and go. I admit its not alot faster but it is a little faster and alot easier. I really like it when its raining.
